Chapter 79: Changqing distinguishes the qin
Xuanyuan Jia's feminine eyes glanced around, and then said slowly: "Don't lose your interest, everyone is my emperor's grandmother's birthday, and the queen mother has already prepared a song and dance, everyone just needs to enjoy it." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at the queen mother, who was sitting on the side and had already cleaned her wounds, and said to the queen mother on the other side: "I don't know what the imperial grandmother wants?" ”
The Queen Mother sat aside, graceful and luxurious, her eyes were dark and uncertain, and she couldn't find a trace of emotion in her eyes with vicissitudes.
"Whatever." The suppressed voice, with a pitch-shifting trill, fingers tightly clasped on the side of the chair, finally pretended to say this sentence casually.
"Let's get started." Xuanyuan Jia clapped his hands as he spoke. Immediately the music sounded.
As soon as the words ended, the dancers in white light shirts appeared like fairies, lined up and began to dance to add to the fun.
Suddenly, the huge hall began to have a festive atmosphere.
And the people below are all well aware, and they don't say superfluous words anymore, they all drink tea and drink and watch singing and dancing.
When the dance was halfway through, an old lady beside the Queen Mother didn't know what to say, and the Queen Mother's eyebrows and eyes were clear, and she thought for a moment. And standing aside, hanging her head, Li Changqing didn't see her appearance clearly.
Dao is suddenly felt that there seemed to be a sharp and indifferent look, and couldn't help frowning, this gaze made Li Changqing uncomfortable, and couldn't help but look at the other side, and sure enough, he saw Xuanyuan Chu's complicated black eyes, but he was staring at her with eagerness.
Li Changqing couldn't help but feel an uncomfortable upsurge in his heart, and lowered his head.
"Let's all go down." The Queen Mother suddenly interrupted when the song reached its climax.
Xuanyuan Jing's mood also slowly reached a relaxed state in this atmosphere, and when he heard the voice of the Queen Mother next to his ears, he couldn't help frowning slightly, but he didn't open his mouth to stop it.
"I'm tired of watching these songs and dances."
As soon as the Queen Mother's words came out, the Queen He Huaiqing on one side was a little unnatural, these were all carefully prepared by her, but she was vetoed by the Queen Mother in front of everyone in a sentence or two, and she suddenly felt uncomfortable in her heart.
"I heard that the eldest lady in Prime Minister Li Cheng's mansion is the leader of the Yellow Crane Tower, and I just want to hear her play today."
Li Changqing paused, slowly raised his head, his eyes were calm, but a trace of imperceptible mockery flashed in his eyes, and his face bloomed with a light smile.
No wonder! It seemed that something was wrong just now, it turned out that her dislike for Xuanyuan Chu made her ignore the cold eyes of the Queen Mother next to the old lady.
However, why does the Queen Mother think of her alone in front of so many young ladies?
"Not happy?" The Queen Mother's voice was not loud, but it carried a hint of majesty, so that Li Changqing had to stand up and walk to the middle of the hall, first blessed her body, and then slowly responded: "Back to the Queen Mother, the courtiers are stupid, and they are not proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I am afraid that they will not be able to do what the Queen Mother wants, please forgive the Queen Mother." ”
At this moment, the warm sunlight leaked in through the carved window and sprinkled on Li Changqing's body, and his fair complexion was faintly revealing a faint pink, delicate and compelling, but there was a trace of stubbornness in his bones.
Obviously, Li Changqing was unwilling.
Besides, the object is still the Queen Mother, who has been angry since the beginning of the birthday banquet and has nowhere to go.
"Bold!" As soon as the Queen Mother slapped the table, she scolded Li Changqing angrily: "Who borrowed you girl and dared to disobey my request?" ”
"I borrowed it."
Qing Ling's voice did not have the softness of rice cakes when they first met, but instead flashed a haze from his handsome face like a god, and it was this haze that made his newly injured body more and more with the aura of evil and blood, which was daunting.
Li Changqing looked at Xuanyuan Qi, who was still sitting in the chair, there was no emotion in his tone, and after he spit out these three words coldly, he nodded at her, his eyes seemed to say: Don't worry, there is me.
This made Li Changqing's heart pour into a trace of warmth for no reason, stabilized his mind, his bright eyes, and prayed to Xuanyuan, the corners of his mouth pulled slightly: You don't care!
Xuanyuan Qi also seemed to tacitly feel her lips, like the charm of the moon.
Li Changqing was still in the gap between the two eye contact, and did not let go of the fleeting success of the Queen Mother's eyes.
Suddenly, it was so obvious that the Queen Mother called her out as an excuse, and the real purpose was for the six princes.
Li Changqing unconsciously glanced at the old lady next to the Queen Mother, only to see her dodgy gaze, but he didn't dare to meet her.
I can't help but secretly guess, I'm afraid that this old lady will inform the Queen Mother about the six princes in the morning, and at that time, it was Li Changqing who relieved the siege for the six princes, I'm afraid. The Queen Mother had some misunderstandings, mistakenly thinking that there was something between the six princes and her, so she came to the so-called "leading the snake out of the hole".
Although this is a bit suspenseful, because the Queen Mother may really just be looking for her to perform some tunes, but I didn't expect that I wouldn't, but it caused the Queen Mother's misunderstanding, and then took out her anger, but I never thought that the six princes would help her?
Thinking of this, Li Changqing thought about it, and couldn't get involved in the six princes anymore.
Although it is obvious that there is an undercurrent between the Queen Mother and the Six Princes, she can never become a bridge between this undercurrent.
It can't be the fuse that burns brightly!
"Queen Mother, please stop your anger!" Li Changqing first appeased the Empress Dowager's anger at this time, and when she eased down a little, she continued: "Although the courtier just said that she is not very proficient in qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, she can give it a try. ”
At this time, the Queen Mother was very angry with no one in Xuanyuan Qi's eyes, besides, the purpose of her calling out Li Changqing was to lead Xuanyuan Qi to intercede, but she didn't expect that after so long, Xuanyuan Qi was still so arrogant to her, and even carved out of the same mold as his mother's cheap hooves.
I couldn't help but want to be angry, but Li Changqing seemed to see something, and continued: "Today is the 70th birthday of the Queen Mother, and it is joy to smile all the time, and I ask the mother to grant the request of the courtier." ”
The queen next to her, when she saw Li Changqing speak, her heart twitched fiercely, the woman below seemed ordinary, but her light and breezy appearance was exactly the same as her back then, the long carved dragon and phoenix Chengxiang's fingers tightly grasped the side of the chair, and said: "Queen Mother, since this Miss Li asked so much, it is better to give a chance and let her try, if this is wrong, then it will be punished heavily, so as not to make people in other countries think that our Xuanyuan Dynasty even dares to ride on the head of the queen mother." ”
As soon as these words came out, the ministers who were frightened by Xuanyuan just now and didn't dare to come out suddenly gasped in a cold sweat.
Li Rao wanted to get up and beg for mercy, but he never thought that his brother-in-law Ye Qingcang would take the lead in standing up and say, "Since the queen mother said so, the nephew's daughter can't help but distinguish the piano well." ”
As he spoke, he pleaded with the Queen Mother: "Please make the Queen Mother complete, which can be regarded as adding a touch of fun to the Queen Mother's birthday banquet today." ”
Now, even this general Jinwu, who rarely speaks above the court, has spoken so shelteredly, and the Queen Mother Rao wants to make things difficult, so she has to find another opportunity.
nodded and said, "In that case, Zihan girl plays the piano, and Miss Li sits blindfolded on the side to identify the piano." ”
When Lin Zihan heard the Queen Mother call out his name, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly stood up and said, "Yes, the Queen Mother." ”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, this is out one after another, it is simply a frightened little life that is bumped in the palm of the hand at all times, just afraid that if one accidentally jumps out, it will die immediately.
The so-called debate of the qin is actually based on Cai Wenji's identification of the qin.
Cai Wenji was a very famous talented woman during the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty.
Hearing that when Cai Wenji was nine years old, his father Cai Yong played the piano at night and suddenly broke a string, Cai Wenji said: "The second string was broken." Cai Yong said: "You just said it by chance." So he deliberately broke one and asked her, and Cai Wenji said that it was the fourth.
Although this story is small, it is a skill sought after and must be learned among the noble women of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, and distinguishing the qin is actually a very comprehensive strength of the knowledge.
So far, in the history of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, there is still no powerful qin master.
Therefore, when Li Changqing said that he wanted to use the piano to replace other talents, there were actually many women in the two columns of female guests gasping.
……
"I can't help myself." A said jealously.
"That's it, I can't even play the piano, and I can still distinguish it, it's really wishful thinking!" B said disdainfully.
"Hmph, I guess it's just a gimmick to attract attention." Bing snorted coldly.
"That's not true, you didn't see what the queen meant, that's a heavy punishment." Ding interrupted them and accused.
"Yes, yes, I also think that maybe this Miss Li will really be a master of piano identification, wouldn't she want to be famous in Beijing." Although A was jealous, but when he was reminded by Ding like this, he also felt that what he said was reasonable, and immediately echoed it.
"What do you know?" B said shamelessly again: "You don't see that this Miss Li is very powerful, first the sixth prince, and then the general Jinwu, even if something happened, then the above is not to be relieved and forgiven." ”
"Oh, yes, I forgot about it." C's cold expression immediately changed as quickly as the weather was cloudy and uncertain.
"Don't speculate, I see this Miss Li, she really has a few brushes." Ding spoke again, with anticipation in his eyes, and said firmly.
……
When Xuanyuan prayed to Li Changqing and asked to identify the qin, he knew that this woman was relieving him.
couldn't help but have a trace of helpless pampering in her handsome eyes, but she didn't bother her, but sat quietly on the chair and waited to watch her wonderful performance.
Lin Zihan's piano is actually very good, but it is slightly inferior to Li Changxin.
Today, he was specially named by the Queen Mother, and his heart was as sweet as eating candied fruit, and the actions of his subordinates were naturally superb.
Lin Zihan played the five-stringed piano at this time, that is, the guqin.
The guqin has only five strings, which are combined with five elements, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth; The outer combination of five tones, palace, Shang, horn, sign, and feather, for Li Changqing, as long as it is a piano, she can distinguish it.
In her previous life, only her hearing and deep knowledge of music allowed her to preserve her strength in this life.
It's not that I won't, but I don't want to.
If you think about it, you will do your best.
There is a screen between the two of them, and they sit on the left and right.
Lin Zihan first tried the sound of the piano, and saw that it was pleasant, with mellow, green fingers began to jump on the piano like elves.
When it reached the highest note, there was a "bang" and a string broke.
Li Changqing did not hesitate, "The five-stringed piano, the third one is broken." ”
Wow!
Terrible!
Yes!
Silk!
Exclamations, praises, screams, and shouts as you inhale, one has to ask, how did this woman do it?
Lin Zihan was stunned, his brows furrowed slightly, his hands sped up, and his hands seemed to be spiraling, faster and faster, tighter and tighter, until the lowest time, it broke again.
Li Changqing paused for a moment, and then said, "Five-stringed piano, the fourth." ”
After saying that, he seemed to think about it again, and continued: "When the fourth root is broken, it is broken from the root, not the middle of the third root just now. ”
As he spoke, the hall burst into flames.
To determine which root is broken, this is the first difficulty; However, to determine where to break, this difficulty is more complicated.
Lin Zihan seemed unwilling, tilted his head slightly, and said to the place where Li Changqing's body could not be seen at all: "Awesome, I hope you can continue to guess right!" ”
As he spoke, he glanced at the person next to him.
Li Changqing only heard someone walking around next to him, and after a while, it seemed that something had been put on the table again, and he couldn't help frowning, and several different pictures appeared in his mind, but floating back and forth, he didn't know which one it should be?
It wasn't until the sound of the piano sounded again that he closed his eyes and listened quietly to Lin Zihan's playing.
The sound is very good, wonderful, pleasant, you can even imagine the picture of birds singing and flowers through the sound of the guò piano, the breeze blows, with pieces of portraits, the subtle sound of the young grass that has just sprouted rushing out of the soil, suddenly, the sound of the piano spins, the birds are frightened, flying around, the green grass is wet and lying on the ground and can't stand up, the thunder god in the air is great, the dark clouds are full of sky, "boom-boom-" thinking about the thunder.
Just when Li Changqing felt the spring rain pouring down, it came to an abrupt end.
seemed to be quietly waiting for Li Changqing's response.
The people around were also attracted by this beautiful sound, but they did not react.
After staying for a while, everyone suddenly realized.
They all praised Lin Zihan's piano skills, which was a must.
Lin Zihan sat quietly on the side, smiling without saying a word, but waiting for Li Changqing to say how many strings had been broken this time.
"Miss Lin is not a master of the piano, even my heart was shocked, and I almost fell into your piano demon." Li Changqing said lightly, the admiration in his voice was not pretended.
"It's over." Lin Zihan smiled, "Please guess Miss Li, this time, which one is it?" ”
